Dosage
One capsule every five days
Take one capsule every 5th day, whole, with plenty of water, shortly before a meal.
1 capsule
every 5 days
This corresponds, on average, to 25 µg of vitamin D3 (1,000 IU) and 40 µg of vitamin K2 per day. On the day you take the supplement, you will consume 125 µg of vitamin D3 and 200 µg of vitamin K2.
Just before a meal
That is what the recommended intake says. Vitamin D and vitamin K are fat-soluble vitamins, so a meal with a little fat goes well with it.
Make a note of the days to take the supplement
Set a recurring reminder every five days or make a note of the next date after each dose.
Do not exceed the stated recommended dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are taking anticoagulant medication, only take this product after consulting your doctor. Keep out of the reach of young children.
Your routine
One capsule, then a four-day break
One capsule each on days 1, 6 and 11; do not take any in between.
- Day 1: Intake day: 1 capsule
- Day 2
- Day 3
- Day 4
- Day 5
- Day 6: Intake day: 1 capsule
- Day 7
- Day 8
- Day 9
- Day 10
- Day 11: Intake day: 1 capsule
- Day 12
- Day 13
- Day 14
- Day 15
Mathematically, this amounts to an average of 25 µg of vitamin D3 and 40 µg of vitamin K2 per day.
The ‘sunshine vitamin’
Why vitamin D is often in short supply in Germany
Vitamin D occupies a special position: the body can produce it itself with the help of sunlight. Without this endogenous production, the reference value set by the German Nutrition Society (DGE) is 20 µg per day.
The sun as the main source
When spending time outdoors regularly, the skin produces around 80 to 90% of vitamin D with the help of UVB light. Diet usually contributes only 2 to 4 µg per day.
During the winter months, the sun is usually not enough
During the winter months, solar radiation in Germany is usually insufficient for adequate vitamin D production. Even those who work indoors a lot or always cover up in summer produce very little.
More than half do not reach the target level
In the Robert Koch Institute’s DEGS1 health study (2008 to 2011), after standardised analysis around 56% of adults were below the desirable blood concentration of 50 nmol/l, and around 15% even below 30 nmol/l.

- Nov : usually insufficient
- Dec : usually insufficient
Simplified overview based on the DGE, BfR and MRI. During the winter months, solar radiation in Germany is usually insufficient for adequate vitamin D production. During the summer months, production depends, amongst other things, on skin type, time of day and time spent outdoors. Don’t live in Germany? As a rule of thumb: from a UV index of around 3, the skin can produce vitamin D. You can find the UV index for your location, for example, on the TEMIS UV Service (English).
Dosage explained
What one capsule contains
As well as the amount per capsule, we state the average daily intake. This allows you to easily compare the figures with the official recommendations.
What’s in a capsule
125 µg of vitamin D3 (5,000 IU) and 200 µg of vitamin K2. Mathematically, taking one capsule every five days works out at an average of 25 µg of vitamin D3 and 40 µg of vitamin K2 per day. On the day you take the capsule, you consume the full amount.
Good to know
The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) recommends a maximum of 20 µg of vitamin D and 25 µg of vitamin K2 per daily dose for food supplements and favours low-dose preparations taken daily. In mathematical terms, our capsules exceed this average daily amount. A harmonised EU upper limit for vitamins D and K in food supplements has not yet been established. It is best to check with your doctor whether this dosage is suitable for you.
Do not double up
Add up all sources, including multivitamin supplements and fortified foods. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) specifies 100 µg of vitamin D per day as the tolerable upper limit for adults when consumed over the long term from food and supplements. If you wish to combine several vitamin D supplements, it is best to discuss this with your doctor.
Comparison
Vitamin D per day in context
Daily values in micrograms (µg); 1 µg is equivalent to 40 IU. The daily average is a calculated value and is not the same as daily intake.
Raw materials
Vegan D3 and vitamin K2 as MK-7
Vitamin D and vitamin K both contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, which is why they are often combined. For the raw materials, we pay attention to vegan quality and the natural all-trans form of vitamin K2.
Vegan instead of wool grease
Conventional vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin, the wool grease from sheep. This is vegetarian, but not vegan. Anyone who values this should therefore look for the ‘vegan’ label. We use Vitamin D3V®, a certified vegan vitamin D3 made from non-animal raw materials.
Vitamins K1 and K2
Vitamin K1 is found primarily in green vegetables such as kale, spinach and broccoli. Vitamin K2 is found in animal-based and fermented foods, such as cheese or the Japanese dish natto. Both forms are types of vitamin K.
What is all-trans MK-7?
MK-7 (menaquinone-7) is a form of vitamin K2. We use the branded raw material K2VITAL® in its all-trans form. This is the molecular form that also occurs naturally in food.
Caution with anticoagulants
Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting. Anyone taking vitamin K antagonists such as phenprocoumon (e.g. Marcumar®) should maintain a consistent intake of vitamin K. You should therefore only take vitamin K-containing supplements after consulting your doctor.

Background
Vitamin D explained briefly
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form that the skin also produces when exposed to sunlight.
Converting IU and µg
Vitamin D is measured in micrograms (µg) or International Units (IU). 1 µg is equivalent to 40 IU. Therefore, 125 µg is 5,000 IU, and 25 µg is 1,000 IU.
Fat-soluble and storable
Vitamins D and K are fat-soluble. The body can store vitamin D, which is why a consistently excessive intake can build up over time. This is precisely why the interval between doses is important.
Vitamin D from food
Significant amounts are found primarily in oily fish such as salmon, herring or mackerel, as well as in egg yolks and mushrooms that have been exposed to sunlight.
Added value in everyday life
Recipe idea: mushroom and kale stir-fry
Kale and broccoli provide vitamin K1, while mushrooms provide a small amount of vitamin D. Prepared with a little oil, this stir-fry makes a good meal for a vitamin intake day.
Ingredients
- 250 g button mushrooms
- 150 g kale (fresh or frozen)
- 200 g broccoli
- 1 small onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tbsp soya sauce
- lemon juice, salt and pepper
Preparation
- Slice the mushrooms, cut the broccoli into small florets, and finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Heat the oil and fry the mushrooms vigorously.
- Add the onion, garlic, broccoli and kale and fry for about 8 minutes.
- Season to taste with soya sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Good to know: The vitamin D content of mushrooms depends, amongst other things, on how much UV light they have been exposed to, and varies considerably. This recipe idea is intended as inspiration; nutrient contents vary depending on the ingredients.

Frequently asked questions about vitamin D3 + K2
No. 5,000 IU (125 µg) of vitamin D3 is the amount per capsule. According to the recommended intake, you take one capsule every five days; mathematically, that is an average of 25 µg (1,000 IU) of vitamin D3 and 40 µg of vitamin K2 per day.
One capsule every fifth day, swallowed whole with enough water, shortly before a meal. Vitamins D and K are fat-soluble, so a meal containing some fat is a good fit. To make sure you don’t forget the interval, it’s best to set a recurring reminder every five days.
One jar contains 90 capsules. At one capsule every five days, it lasts 450 days in theory, so just under 15 months. Do still keep an eye on the best-before date on the jar.
The Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) of 5 µg is an EU-wide benchmark for labelling. The DGE reference value of 20 µg indicates how much vitamin D should be consumed via the diet, excluding the amount produced by the body through the skin. The EFSA upper limit of 100 µg describes the maximum amount that adults should consume daily from all foods and supplements over the long term.
From then on, stick to the five-day interval again. If you have taken several extra capsules or are unsure, ask your pharmacist or doctor before the next intake.
IU stands for International Units. For vitamin D, 1 µg is equal to 40 IU. A capsule containing 125 µg therefore contains 5,000 IU.
During the summer months, your skin can produce vitamin D naturally if you spend time outdoors regularly, provided your face, hands and parts of your arms and legs are uncovered. How long this takes depends largely on your skin type, the season, the time of day and UV radiation. You should always avoid getting sunburnt. During the winter months, the sun in Germany is usually not strong enough to allow for sufficient production.
It’s a good idea, particularly before taking supplements for a prolonged period. By measuring your 25-OH-vitamin D blood level, your doctor can assess how well-supplied you are and whether supplementation is suitable for you. Professional bodies recommend vitamin D supplements particularly when a deficiency has been diagnosed.
According to the DGE, BfR and MRI, this mainly applies to people who rarely go outside or only spend time outdoors while fully covered, people with darker skin, and older people who are mobility-impaired or in need of care.
Vitamin D and vitamin K both contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, which is why they are often combined. In addition, vitamin D contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, and vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting. We cannot promise any benefit of the combination beyond this. According to the BfR, taking high doses together has hardly been studied so far.
Yes. Conventional vitamin D3 is obtained from lanolin, the wool grease of sheep, and is therefore only vegetarian. We use Vitamin D3V®, a certified vegan vitamin D3. This is combined with K2VITAL® (vitamin K2 as all-trans MK-7), rice flour as a filler and a vegan HPMC capsule shell.
Add up the doses of all supplements, including multivitamin products. Our multivitamin complex, for example, also contains vitamin D3 and K2. If you wish to take several vitamin D supplements, it is best to discuss this with your doctor.
Vitamin K counteracts vitamin K antagonists such as phenprocoumon. If you are taking such medication, your vitamin K intake should be as consistent as possible. You should therefore only take the capsules after consulting your doctor.
For adults who wish to supplement their intake of vitamins D and K, ideally after consulting their doctor. The dosage is not intended for children or adolescents. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have conditions such as kidney disease, or are taking medication regularly, please consult your doctor before taking these capsules.
Store the jar tightly closed, in a dry, cool place away from light, and check the best-before date.

Ich habe das erste mal bestellt bei euch
Ich habe das erste mal bestellt bei euch, Lieferung kam zügig, die Kapseln haben genau die Dosierung die ich täglich benötige. 5000 IE D3 plus 200my K2. Die Kapseln reichen für 90 Tage, so muss ich nicht so oft bestellen. Zur Wirkung kann ich nicht viel sagen, da ich schon seit Jahren D3 nehme und seit dem auch nie mehr krank war. Die Kapseln sind einfach zu schlucken. Also alles gut.
